As a writer, there are a vast array of resources to sort through. Some are useful and others waste time. These two channels are excellent for the content they provide. I recommend them both to any writer interested in having a reference to check for expert information and advice when crafting scenes, stories and characters.  How Real Is It: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKfWL8IXgKBuo...

A new year with a few setbacks, some much-needed wins and plans for tomorrow.

There are many lessons to learn along our creative journey. I learned much in the five books I published and expect to learn much more in the years to come. In this episode, I talk about why I decided to work with professionals when it comes to cover designs and recommend my favorite for both quality and price.

The inception of each book is always unique. When I decided to move forward with making a series, I had to look at things a little differently and had all the more fun in the end.

It's been an age since my last podcast. Yes, there was a reason. I'm doing what I can to get back on my feet and will find a new normal in this adventurous era we are in. 

This year has proven to be just as challenging as the last one.  For this post, I discuss what I have in the works and my plans for the second half of 2021

This is my review of indie book Long Paradise by James Murdo. James Murdo and his works can be found at: www.jamesmurdo.com Goodreads Twitter Instagram Amazon

It took a long time before I could afford an editor. From my first book published to the sixth, I continue to learn more, but nothing is as important as having an editor when it comes to improving our craft, honing our skills and growing as an author.

It has been an interesting journey so far.  This episode, I discuss the mistakes I've made along the indie (self-publishing) path.

I'm back from my hiatus and eager to continue sharing my works.  For this post, I discuss the ideas that led me to write Reflections In Darkness and the delay that kept me from it after Connections was released.  Ah, creative life...

As I look for more ways of promoting my books, I will continue to share. This post talks about Book Brush and AllAuthor. Both look promising and I hope in the coming year, I see growing returns on my efforts to advertise and promote my books.

We all have passions that we follow in our lives. I have several. This is how I began my passion with Photography.
